Numerous showers and thunderstorms producing heavy rainfall are expected across the western half of the Upstate and the northeast Georgia Piedmont again late Wednesday afternoon and evening, forecasters said.

Very heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding have occurred across portions of these areas during the past two days.

As a result, the ground is saturated and it will not take much additional rainfall to result in another round of flash flooding.

If heavy rain falls today in areas that have seen flash flooding during the past two days, significant flash flooding could redevelop very quickly.

Expect very warm and humid conditions on Wednesday with scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms that are expected to be heavy in places.

A cold front will trigger more scattered to numerous thunderstorms during the afternoon on Thursday.

A few of those thunderstorms may be severe.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are also possible on Friday through the weekend and into early part of next week.

Of course, the forecast during this period of time could change dramatically depending on the track of tropical storm Chantal. Click here for more on Chantal.
